    You say goodbye, and I say hello ...

    Sad to say, after such a brief stay, it looks like my CB650R will soon be heading off to a new owner. I just put a deposit down on a new Rebel 1100 DCT. As nice as this CB is - and I will not argue that it’s a damn fine machine - I kinda knew from the first ride that it probably wouldn’t last...

    CB650R CB650R/CBR650R - Build quality questions/discussion

    I just bought my CB650R a week ago and am initially very impressed with it. Zero issues or complaints from me. But, there’s a guy over in the FB CB650R owners group calling it the worst-built bike he’s ever seen after putting about 9000 km on one in a year’s time. Says the gearbox is junk, after...

    CB650R CB650R - first impressions

    Very first impression: wow. Right off the bat, the first thing that grabs you is this motor has some grapes. I absolutely did not expect this very midsized 4-cylinder engine to have the punch it does from right off idle. I’d always thought that smaller 4’s needed to spool up before they start...

    CB650R Is there a trick to removing the CB650R rear seat?

    Just picked mine up this afternoon, and the sales guy and I could not budge the rear seat. Turned the key and the rear of the seat could be lifted Enough to see the owners manual strapped under there, but it would not separate from the front. Tried pulling up, back, up and back, wouldn’t move...

    CB650R Don’t have one ... yet

    Just joined to soak up whatever info I can on the CB650R before possibly/hopefully buying, possibly/hopefully soon. I’m a pretty seasoned rider, having had mostly big bikes over the years. Last big bike was a 2014 Valkyrie. But interest in riding had been waning, to the point that over the...
